Easy acupuncture needles are made of metal, and stainless steel is the most commonly used needle-making material. Stainless steel filiform needle has the advantages of high strength, good toughness, flat and smooth needle body, heat resistance and rust resistance, and is not easily corroded by chemicals, so it has been widely used in clinic.

There are also filigree needles made of other metals, such as gold needles and silver needles. Although their electrical conductivity and heat transfer performance are obviously better than those of stainless steel filigree needles, their needles are thicker and their strength and toughness are not as good as those of stainless steel needles. In addition, it is expensive and is generally less used in clinic. As for iron needles and ordinary steel needles, they are easy to rust and have poor elasticity, toughness and firmness. Except for the occasional magnetic needle method, it is not used at present.

The therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion can be roughly summarized into three aspects: analgesia, regulating the functions of various systems of the body, and enhancing the body's defense and immunity.
